Presentation
RESULTS: Overall, 107 patients presented with IUVFP; 35.5% of patients reported symptoms of upper respiratory infection at the onset of UVFP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Quadriplegia
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia, which is often referred to as tetraplegia, is paralysis below the neck. All four limbs, as well as the torso, are typically affected. [spinalcord.com]
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia or tetraplegia is where the individual is paralysed below the neck. This affects arms, legs as well as many bodily functions. Like with paraplegia, a SCI is the most common cause of paraplegia. [cyclonemobility.com]
Paralysis of the arms and legs is quadriplegia. Most paralysis is due to strokes or injuries such as spinal cord injury or a broken neck. [medlineplus.gov]
Buta person with paralysis that affects both their armsand their legs (tetraplegia/quadriplegia)willneed a great deal of support, and it is unlikelythey willbe able to live without a dedicated carer. [zana.com]
- Monoplegia
Although there are many different types of paralysis, these can be broadly categorised into five main types: monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia and quadriplegia. Monoplegia Monoplegia is where one area of the body is paralysed. [cyclonemobility.com]
Monoplegia Monoplegia is paralysis of a single area of the body, most typically one limb. People with monoplegia typically retain control over the rest of their body, but cannot move or feel sensations in the affected limb. [spinalcord.com]
If the patient experiences paralysis in one limb, he or she has monoplegia. Sometimes monoplegia is a temporary condition after a stroke or brain injury. Loss of movement and feeling in the limbs on only one side of the body is hemiplegia. [knappandroberts.com]
Depending on the extent of paralysis, one speaks of monoplegia (paralysis of only one limb), paraplegia (paralysis of the upper or lower limbs), tetraplegia (paralysis of all limbs) or hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). [ottobock.com.au]
For example: monoplegia where one limb is paralysed hemiplegia where the arm and leg on one side of the body are paralysed paraplegia where both legs and sometimes the pelvis and some of the lower bodyare paralysed tetraplegia where both the arms and [zana.com]
Workup
Repeated magnetic resonance imaging as well as targeted workup failed to reveal a diagnosis. 20 months following symptom onset, after the patient's facial function slowly progressed to a complete paralysis, repeat magnetic resonance imaging revealed enhancement [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
After treatment, 73 patients (69.5%) improved to grade I, 29 (27.6%) were at grade II or III, and only 3 (2.9%) remained at grade IV or higher. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
BACKGROUND: We used voice analysis and clinicopathological factors to explore the prognosis of unilateral vocal fold paralysis after thyroid surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sex Like diaphragm eventration, diaphragm paralysis is more common among males. [9] Prognosis Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis Depending on the etiology of the diaphragmatic paralysis, the prognosis of unilateral disease usually is excellent unless [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Facial paralysis is a condition caused by a wide variety of etiologies, including neurologic, congenital, infectious, neoplastic, systemic, and iatrogenic causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If malignancy is not the cause, many times the etiology cannot be determined. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Fontanet, head of the Epidemiology of Emerging Diseases Unit at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. Other experts said the study fell short of proving causation. [nytimes.com]

Discussion The pathophysiology of TPP focuses on Na-K ATPase pump. It has been demonstrated that thyrotoxic patients with TPP have significantly higher pump activity than the ones without the disorder (9-11). [turkjem.org]
Prevention
Most of the other causes of paralysis are easily preventable with good tactics. You can completely prevent paralysis from hitting floating eyes by not hitting them in melee unless you have reflection. [nethackwiki.com]
